Writing this review to give my thoughts after playing for a few hours, I'll update it later as I complete more of the game.
I appreciate a rpgmaker h-games that put time into developing the towns and worlds they take place in, which this game does quite well. Wandering around the towns talking to people is pretty interesting and there's quite a bit to find.
About the collectibles though, as someone playing an h-game for the h-content that's part of the narrative and world, I have exactly zero interest in contextless scenes and 3dpds, more of the collectables should've been upgrade materials, consumable items, etc, or at least let us sell the misc porn for stuff that's actually useful (maybe this is an option later?).
I've only gotten the magihound and first two female companions so far and I'm a little underwhelmed, Farah is too much of a slutty pushover to be a good main girl, and the MC treats her with kid gloves despite her being a huge masochist and there supposedly being a morality system in this game. The bandit girl is likewise a massive slut. Fetish material like prostitution, slavery, bestiality, and rape are supposed to be a little edgy but the writer undermines it by having nobody really care about anything.
"Oh no, I'm being raped by a pack of monsters, oh well!"
"Oh no, I'm a sex slave forced to fellate a horse in front of a live audience every night, thanks for saving me I guess but I really didn't mind either way!"
That being said, I expect there will be more companions and hopefully they'll be better.
